Have you ever been on a holiday
and wandered past a place, or
noticed a cliff line, a row of
houses, and a grand garden
and had a sense of déjà vu? I
suppose it could legitimately
be déjà vu, but it might just
be that the impression that
has sparked your memory is a
setting or a location for a film
or television series you’ve seen.
Film and TV location specialist holidays are popular and most
major cities in the USA have tours of locations: Years ago, Sex in the
City created the best NYC tour – and it still runs. I recently did the
famous Slice of Brooklyn Tour, which was great fun (pizzas fantastic),
and we drove to several Brooklyn sites where some of the great crime
movies were made, including Goodfellas.
Last year I visited many of the Sound of Music locations around
Salzburg, Austria, and this year I was in Ireland to check out a few
special locations.
In Dublin there were some choice spots from the TV series The Fall
and The Frankenstein Chronicles. Then on to Belfast to satisfy my
itch for locations that I was keen (champing at the bit) to see.
I am an unashamed Games of Thrones fan/addict/obsessive. So
to visit the Dark Hedges (see pages 38–39) Castle Black, The Iron
Islands and even drive past the massive Belfast Titanic studios where
murders, plotting, betrayal and action scenes took place fulfilled my
dreams and desires.
I learned how to hold and shoot a bow and arrow, wore the clothes/
costumes of one of the families of the seven kingdoms... and if you
have no idea what I’m talking about, that’s a shame. I sat down for a
Game of Thrones meal in Ballygally Castle overlooking the sea on the
rugged and beautiful Antrim Coast. Ah, what a trip!
This issue, we also cover a host of international destinations
that beg exploring... Italy, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Chile,
Belgium, Scotland, England and India... and there’s always more.
Our new competition is a beauty! Flights for two to Switzerland
and then a tour of the best the country has to offer, so enter now.
Also, with Christmas approaching (yep, any minute now), how
about taking out a subscription to Get Up & Go for a friend... we call
that easy shopping.
Happy travels. •
